Shepherd parental opt-out

The live projects list marks this matter closed. The page describes litigation against the Michigan Department of Education and Shepherd Public School District to enforce a parent’s right to opt a child out of curriculum the parent finds objectionable. It relies on Mahmoud v. Taylor (2025).

The page says the suit is meant to enforce that precedent, to set a Michigan standard for other districts, to protect parents’ direction of education and upbringing, and to hold the department and Shepherd to account for policies the page says violate the Constitution and federal case law.

The projects-list blurb says supporting the litigation is meant to affect parental rights and education policy across Michigan. The page does not publish a judgment in the text read for this summary.
